Description
Levellers have announced new acoustic album Together All The Way the follow up to their 2018 Top 20 album We The Collective. The Album will be available on Limited edition Red Vinyl and CD. The last lsquoCollectiversquo album was recorded at Abbey Road with the legendary John Leckie 5 years ago and resulted in their highest chart position in twenty years. Levellers always planned to do more but how do you top that Eventually they came to the conclusion to not try to top it but to go another way.They decided to strip everything right back and go for a more traditional, folk approach. They reconvened the collective this time with Sean Lakeman producing and Al Scott mixing at their own Metway Studios in Brighton. Everything was recorded live, with the musicians playing through the songs until they had versions they were happy with. Of the album and recording, the Levellers say ldquoIt was truly a fun record to make, under the rigorous guidance of Sean. Seanrsquos a musician himself, always bringing ideas and get out of jail free suggestions when we got stuck. Itrsquos a stripped back, raw iteration of the collective with deep folk leanings. As energetic as the first one but definitely differentrdquo Levellers were joined again by Hannah and Ollie from the Moulettes on cello, vocals and percussion plus the mighty Dan Donnelly on his first official Levellers recording.First song Down by the River lsquoOrsquo The song was written by friend and collaborator Rev Hammer about the Great Flood of 1968 in Buntingford.
